Tutorial design is notoriously difficult within commercial games due to the typically diverse abilities of the target audience.

How can you effectively teach the player the necessary controls and rules of the game, without boring experienced players or frustrating casual players? Either of these situations could lead to the player disengaging from your game early – this problem is particularly apparent in vertical slice gameplay demos.

We believe the answer lies in dropping the player straight into the typical gameplay experience, while providing effective coaching-based instruction and corrective instant feedback.

With over 10 years of experience designing educational games, we have significant expertise to provide assistance to game developers who need support in this critical area.
